This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about the nature of personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data") that "PressBear" processes, the purposes of this data processing, and the extent to which it occurs. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processing conducted by PressBear, including the provision of our services on our websites, mobile applications, and external online presences such as our social media profiles (collectively referred to as "online offer").
The terms used in this policy are gender-neutral.
The legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on which we rely for processing personal data are as follows:
In addition to the GDPR, national data protection regulations may also apply. In Germany, for instance, the Act on Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG) and state data protection laws enforce additional obligations and rights.
We undertake appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Such measures include, but are not limited to, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data through controlled physical and electronic access, data input, data transmission, securing availability, segregation of duties, and data minimization. Furthermore, we adopt privacy-by-design and privacy-enhancing default settings during the development and selection of software, hardware, and all procedural aspects.
In instances where personal data is transferred or disclosed to other entities, we ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements and the rights of data subjects. This includes contracting appropriate agreements to secure the transferred data with third parties, such as IT service providers or content providers integrated into our websites.
When processing personal data in third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area), this is done in accordance with regulatory requirements unless an explicit consent or another legal requirement mandates such a transfer. Generally, processing occurs only in third countries with recognized levels of data protection or with implementing specific safeguards like the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
We delete personal data in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consent for processing is revoked, or when other permissions cease to apply, such as if the purpose for which the data was collected no longer exists. If the data cannot be deleted due to lawful retention obligations, their processing will be restricted accordingly.
